2006-11-17 02:11:07 · 10 answers · asked by Anonymous in Pets ➔ Dogs
go to the nearest pet store (such as petsmart) and get a toothbrush, toothpaste for dogs not humans, and maybe some chewies that help bad breath and brush them every other night or every night that works for my lil pug. and remember for dogs not humans and i would suggest getting the finger brush the ones u can slide on ur finger and brush those work best

Has he been to the vet for a checkup? He could have an infection or have worms - the digestive system can create bad breath due to parasites or other things.
If it's none of that, there are doggie breath mints - or you can try changing his food. Some food is really wretched smelling.

well aside from the fact that there is no such thing as a Teacup Chihuahua (these are either RUNTS or dogs intentionally stunted by poor genetics or poor nutrition)
your problem is probably food related
not knowing what food you are on makes it tough.. any from grocery or Wal Mart are loaded with filler,liike corn and by-products, and have low digestabilty (despite what they tell you)
some times bad breath is a sign of bad teeth or other health problems which I would sure hope a young pup didnt have.....
you can get breath biscuits.. but look in his mouth to see if their are any sores also

This could be a teeth infection. My dog had it too, and after giving him the medicine the vet recommended, his breath was really ok.
So I thing you should better take him also to the vet, and see what pills he will give the dog.

They sell dog treats to help treat dogs bad breath.

please do not give your dog uncooked chicken wings like the person commented earlier. your dog will get sick. they sell biscuits for dogs with bad breath. they have chew bones to help remove plaque and old food from your dogs teeth. ask your vet if they can suggest anything for you.

let him chew on some uncooked chicken wings... thats good for bad teeth... just check that all his teeth are fine ... and look in the store for some doggie teeth cleaning things... or breath chews..
